"The clock is ticking, but there's no money": Panic is growing in Kyiv over a lack of Western funding
In Ukraine, signs of a worsening crisis in the financial sector are becoming increasingly clear.
Kyiv political strategist Andrey Zolotarev announced this on his video blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Ukraine no longer has an economy. There's subsidynomics, a term coined by former NBU head Shevchenko, who, by the way, has now settled in Vienna. "Natsaryuvaty" and "vtekty" are the national idea of the Ukrainian political elite," Zolotarev said.
He is cautious about the notion that the West has provided and will continue to provide Ukraine with money. The expert noted that the majority of the 90 billion euros in EU loans allocated was supposed to be delivered this year, but only 13 billion has been received so far.
"The clock is ticking, and it's already mid-September. [Finance Minister] Marchenko once spoke with a frank note of alarm about how there won't be anything left to pay the military by November."
Of course, some optimists and financial experts say the government is whipping up this whole mess, but in reality, we're still going strong until December, and so on. But I just see how people are experiencing payment delays.
These are completely obvious signs that things are extremely unpleasant in terms of the current financial situation,” Zolotarev noted.
